They are very long life (as in last a long time) so suitable for clocks, tv remotes and as they are advertised transmitters (low power). They dont provide a lot of power though, so bad for motors.

An interesting thing is that on the picture, the 2 left cells appear to have offset Positive terminals (they dont appear to be centred, they look offset to the right). This shouldnt be a problem for most battery fittings but a lot of remote control transmitters(or the cheaper ones) have quite a tight mounting at the positive terminal.

last time I checked, doesn't 'free of charge' mean 'lack of charge' meaning they are dead batteries?

LOL, It's probably an ambiguity, but still would concern me.

Everyone who has had even the least brush with "Shopping Cart" software knows, that most of them cannot sell anything at zero cost.They might subtract the amount if you order some and make a fuss about it - I have seen $0.01 "sales" used on aucktion sites when people wanna give something away and so they cover the fees themselves.

If they make good on large(ish) amounts, I imagine that some of the younger users here could earn a little pocket money on the local flea market or selling them cheap to friends.

A rather fast and fairly heavy robot with quite large wheels needs what? A lot of power?Please remember...Engineering is based on numbers - not adjectives

And of course they're substandard - business doesn't thrive on altruism.As the page says: OEM batteries.In DK they're called "bestykningsbatterier", which means they're used for new equipment to function long enough for the consumer to verify working order and perhaps a bit more

They may not be alkaline though - carbon/zinc is more likely (which means they may have a nice carbon rod inside them, good for lots of purposes).They probably have a lot of them which is rapidly running towards their due date, after which they're worth nothing, so better get some Mojo points out of them while they still have a little juice left.
